We are contemplating a trip for Feb vacation week Feb 20-24, in NH, and I am wondering how many others are planning a similiar thing. I have looked at the crowd projections and they are not too promising, but I am not sure when else we can go. If you are planning a trip for that time, where are you staying? I know that those dates are during peak season. Thanks inadvance for any information.

Hi and welcome to the DIS!

We'll be there, and I must say it will be very crowded, particularly early in the week. It looks like you are arriving on Monday and leaving on Friday of President's Day week. Crowds will be heavy on Monday and Tuesday, then easing up a bit on Wednesday through Friday.

We are booked for Feb 11-18. I am from Canada - when exactly is presidents day this year? We are staying at POR for a wedding,

I think we are going Feb.17-25.Staying at either POP or a moderate.I don't know yet. I went for my first time during Spring Break.I don't think the crowds could top that.

MedicMouse, welcome to the DIS!

President's Day is Monday Feb 20. Crowds will start building on Friday the 17th and will start thinning out on Wednesday the 22nd. I think you'll just miss the rush!

Thanks to everyone for the responses. I am thinking that we might try to arrive on Tuesday and leave on Sunday. Would that help with crowd level?

I'm planning in Feb also and was wondering how you find out what the crowds will be like. We are going from the 5th to the 12th.

 

[Bob P]

Reese, crowds will be pretty light from the 5th to the 12th. Crowds are generally light whenever schools are in session.

Nhmomofson, if you arrive on Tuesday (21st) you will still see pretty big crowds. They will start to ease on Wednesday, and by the following weekend the crowds will be much more reasonable.

Thanks Bob. Dh or I have never been so we have no idea what to expect, so I'm glad the crowds shouldn't be too bad.

 

[Medicmouse]

Thanks very much for the good news Bob. Is there anything you suggest we do on the 17 and 18 before our flight?

Well, you could certainly go to the parks! Just get there early and use FastPass!!
